Evaluation Question 6

What have I learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Throughout the whole process of constructing our thriller opening we used lots of different types of technologies. I will be talking about what hardware and software and sites that I used to help with doing my blogs and videos. 

Hardware



The hardware I used for my blogs was using the iMac, the iMac was the computer that I generated all of my blogs, but I also used a PC when I had no access to the iMac to do my blogs. I only used the when it came to editing my finished product.
The hardware I used for constructing my final piece was a Sony AVCHD Camera, Tripod, mobile phone and iMac. What the camera did for us was capture our scenes, it recorded if for us, the way we were able to use cinematography techniques was by using the tripod. What we used the tripod for is the hold the camera on top of it steady, this allowed us to move the camera around without it being all shaky. The top part of the tripod could move up or down, left or right. This allowed us to do pan shots, tracking shots, high and low angle shots. We then used the iMac to do our editing on the Preliminary Task we did, Sound Task, Cinematography and Thriller Opening. I also used the iMac to do my blogs and upload them online. I used my mobile phone to take pictures of my storyboard and picture for our production meeting post. 




Software

The software that I used in my process of constructing my final product is Adobe Premier Pro, Google Chrome, Quick Time Player and Microsoft PowerPoint. The reason why I used Adobe Premier Pro is to edit my videos, I used this software to edit my Thriller Opening, it allowed me to add audio, transitions, fade in and fade outs, titles and overlay text on the screen. It let me add images, and cut scenes if needed to cut. Once I was finished with editing my Thriller Opening, I exported it and uploaded it as a blog post. I used Google Chrome to allow me to access the internet, which let me get information, images and access my blog. This is how I was able to upload on to my blog. I used Quick Time Player to be able to record my voice and then add in my Thriller Opening that I edited on Premier Pro. I used Microsoft PowerPoint for some of post as a technology by using slid share. 


Internet sites

The internet sites that I used were Prezi, Popplet, Spicynodes,SurveyMonkey, Padlet, Pixlr, Slideshare, YouTube and Blogger. The reason why I used Prezi is to be able to do blog post which were made from other technologies, the same goes with Padlet, Spicynodes, Popplet and Slideshare. I used SurveyMonkey to ask some people which have watched my Thriller Opening on feedback. I used Pixlr to help me edit images for when I was making my animatic or adding a image on my blog. YouTube was used to upload my Thriller Opening and also get other videos from there for my other blogs, I would use a embed code to add them into my blogs. I used Blogger to do all of my Blogs and my evaluation questions.
